Dale, I boxed MCAR late last week, because it met the profile for a January effect stock. Lucky thing, too. I didn't cover because I wanted to be sure I could get a borrow again. I hadn't noticed the web site thing in the news release. I was more focused on the 543% increase in program locations. That was amusing. They were starting with only 14 locations. If they compared to an earlier timeframe, when they had only one location, they could claim a 9000% increase. Wouldn't that have sounded grand. Their web site sounds like it amounts to just an ad for their services, available to anybody who happens to come across their site. I wonder what triggered the increase yesterday: was it the 543%, or the web site, or just any kind of news release to ignite a low RS micro cap stock in January?
